Well..... What could the male boomers have done?

Feminism hit and they were fucked. Seems like they really lost control.

The thing is, Feminism wasn't always as omnipresent as it seems to be now. Back in those days it was a fringe group thing that gradually took hold and its grip tightened as each successive generation was born, grew up and either drank the kool-aid or didn't.

When you send all your strong men off to war to die, which has been happening for a few generations now, and allow the weak ones to stay back and study bullshit degrees to avoid the draft, this is what you get

Well the thing is, the US generally doesn't draft people - the draft in Vietnam wasnt nearly as wide reaching as people think

@Rhunespire Agreed. Though I think the damage was done with the Boomers. It was irreversible at that point. Seems like they were just along for the ride. Plus, I doubt they had the foresight to imagine this future. The internet exploded the issue. No one knew the internet was coming.

I remember when California was the place to be and everyone wanted to live there, then the communists infiltrated the democratic party and poisoned the entire area.

Bs the government created the internet just sayn

It's not like men could protest and be taken seriously.

That's true. The internet was originally a military communications program known as ARPAnet

No one as in the male Boomers.

back n voice

And no one knew it would be the internet it has become. A public utility.

Again, Feminism wasn't really an issue until the 90's and beyond

It took almost a century for it get to where its at.

I disagree. Feminism was a problem in the 60s. Males were pretty much forced from the home.

Feminism is what inspired the welfare state.

Not just hypergamy.

That is true.

it was an issue the day women got the voet

Social security the advent of massive social programs did come about around that time along with the Civil Rights Act of 63

Yep

However, I think the idea at the time was that these programs vice social security wouldnt be around forever.

Boomer men really couldn't see it coming until it was too late. They could not have know what snowball was forming.

Of course not, it was slinking around in the shadows. We had the Cold War to worry about

And if it was already in play, there's no way they could change the course politically. Especially with women voting.

A lot of people deride the McCarthyism of the time when he went after open communists in public life and private, but Communism has always been the enemy

It's crazy but yeah, as soon as they got the voting rights, that was it.

Looking back, I wish he did more.

We may have staved off modern feminism and communism by another generation, maybe two - tops

I don't see a world where women aren't allowed to vote. It would have happened eventually. They should have had the foresight to just make it not about men and women and make voting rights about economics, or some other form of eligibility.

Economically, women would have still not been largely eligible and they could have satisfied all parties (put out the fires) politically.

Wow, the club scene is really dead. The three biggest clubs in the city are permanently closed. I had no idea. Crazy.

Especially the number one club. Actually closed, that's crazy. It was the spot for yeeaarrs.

It's because of online dating.

I wholeheartedly agree with this statement

I think metoo has its own part to play in that

Maybe a sort of death blow

Well the number one club (here at least) closed in 2014. I'm mad late.

I'm old, so...
